My father is buying me a handgun as a gift
Well, I just finished completing a firearms course at my college and am looking to get a handgun for target shooting. My father has already said he will buy me one as a gift. I've decided on either a Glock 19 or 26. I'd like to use the gun for CC once I turn 21. My father isn't really a gun person but he has said he would like to go with me on occasion and learn how to shoot.
Now my questions are these:
1. I'd like to go with him to the dealer so I can see how they fit in my hand. I've fired a Glock 19 before but I'd like to see how the 26 compares and if it would be too small. Would a dealer freak out if I told him my father was buying it with the intention of giving it to me as a gift? Would he suspect a straw purchase? Or should I just tell the dealer that its for both of us to use and not mention that it will primarily be mine as a gift?
2. As a gift from a parent, my understanding is that no paperwork needs to be done to transfer it. Just physically transferring possession. Is this true?
Thanks.
